Anyone tried this rack rail for homelab? How is it?

Deskpi is just too expensive so want to try something DIY.

I have a 4U set of those that I also got from Tanotis, they’re really good quality.

I used 45U ones here:

I gave up on network racks as they are expensive or time consuming to set something up with DIY. So just went with a couple of these plastic racks long ago. But I can’t find this anywhere now…

If it works it works.

But better choice would be those steel foldable racks.

Yeah, I saw your posts. Is it complete now?

Ok will order it then.

Yeah, it’s been done for two years now

I just haven’t put anything in it except:

You’ll need two of them and a certain type of screw, I don’t think it’s metric, you’ll need 10/32 UNF screws.

I will attach it to wooden frame. So wood screws for 1 end and something easy to remove for front side.

The sides are unthreaded so you can use anything but the fronts are 10/32 threaded holes.
